a). Find total number of ways to pick 30 from the 100.
Find the total number of ways to pick 12 from class 1 and the rest from class 2.

Divide the second probability by the first.

b) Find total number of ways to get 2 from class 2, then 1 from class 2 and none from class 2. Add them all and divide by the total number you can pick (30 out of 100).
